[mkgmap-dev] Move to Java 1.8

Hi Uli + Steve,
reg. config files: I think the file .classpath should also be changed to state 1-8, see attached patch.

Hi Gerd,
the patch only used the sequential .stream(). method. If you want to use
multiple cores, simply replace the .stream(). with .parallelStream(). and
the jvm tries to work parallel pipelines with multiple threads. You only
have to be aware, that the order of processing is completely arbitrary in
that case, so the atomic operations have to be independent of each other and
not depend on the order of execution. Also the order of elements in the
resulting list is arbitrary. This can be worked around by using a SortedList
for the collection or by using .sorted((o1, o2) ->
o1.getField().compareTo(o2.getField())). near the end of the streaming
pipeline.
Best regards, Uli
